Jointer Usage
A jointer has 2 uses. 1. it is used to make the edges of boards straight. If you look down the edge of any board, you will see that they are not straight. This is called a crown. by feeding the board threw the jointer, you will take the high ends down to make the board straight. This is necessary, excuse the spelling, for glue ups.
2. It is also used to flatten out a board. Same as the edge, the face could have a cup. By sending the face through the machine, this will make the board flat. Then you send it through the thickness planer to make the board symetrically even.
You can use the jointer to make rabbets also, but there are other machine that will do the job better and faster, such as a router or a table saw, with or with out a dado blade.

On the website http://www.masonryforlife.comthey explain: "Learning to hold the trowel correctly is important and will make the job easier. Gripping the handle with four fingers and putting the thumb on top of the metal band (ferrule) on the handle is how most masons hold a trowel."
1 yard cement is how many cubic feet
kakima is 100% correct, but to add to it so you understand how he got that 27 cubic feet... you can picture a cube.
A cubic yard is 3 foot tall x 3 foot wide x 3 foot high.
(A cubic foot is 1 foot tall x 1 foot wide x 1 foot high).
So 3 x 3 x 3 = 27.
